Dwarfs! Grow Journal

This is my second time growing and i decided to get some Joint Doctor- Lowryder #2 x AK47 feminized. I germinated them doing the paper towel method i had got three seeds but only two of them finished germinating. I put the other two seeds in 3 gallon pots with easy grow soil in a grow tent with a 150 watt HPS with two fans. They sprouted April 3rd so they're about a week old. They look like they're doing pretty good i've been putting them under 20/4 lighting cycle. Turn on a 7AM and turn off at 3AM.

The HPS is about a foot and a half away from them, i hope thats not too close. I'll be posting some pictures up later i have to upload them on my computer.

I was wondering when i should start feeding them? Since they grow within two-three months i have no idea when to start giving them their nutrients.

Mind if I pull up a seat? Your grow sounds a lot like what I have in mind for my next upgrade. Where did you get your 150hps and ballast from? Hope all grows well...

I'm subscribed... I love auto grows. I have the same feeding question as well. So I'm looking forward to an answer as well.

what nutes are you using?

same as me

This is where I get most of my auto info. There are so many great examples of what autos can do on here, and a lot of helpful people.
Depending on what nutes you are using, I've heard it is best to play it safe and wait till about week 2. Matter of opinion tho.

once you're on week 2 you start with1/4 strength and move up, right?

1/4 or even 1/8 wouldn't hurt... just gradually work your way up... it's better to have to little than too much, especially with small plants like autos... nutes get built up in the plants really quick, so it can take a turn for the worse fast! just listen to your ladies, they will let you know what they like.

I ordered the 150 watt HPS (Sun System) from Amazon. It was pretty cheap about 70-80 bucks and thanks for the link its really helpful.

I bought some random organic nutrients from Lowes its pretty good i used it on my last grow i liked it alot but i forgot what its called.

that autoflower resource thread is awesome. KB is the shit.

Ok so i know its been a while but i've been a little busy and the plants were slowing down a little bit. I guess i might of gave them a little shock when i moved them. Anyways they started growing very nice today. But theres one problem there a little yellow?? but the new sets that are coming in are pretty green but the rest are pretty yellow and i'm a little worried and was just wondering what does that mean???

I agree. This is what I thought as well.

I meant that I would move them into the sunlight for a couple of hours and then put them back into the growbox after the sun went down. So i guess they might of got a little shock from me moving them back and forth so much ??

BUT! I'm finally gonna post some pictures up right now. I've been lazy lol. The pictures are a couple weeks old though i haven't taken any good pictures recently besides on my phone but i'll post those up aswell.

Also if you notice the leafs are pretty green at the beginning and then get really yellow. As of right now the set of leafs that have already came in are yellow but the new set are green. I have no clue what yellow means but i have a feeling its not good??

finally started my grow... Click the link in my sig if you're interested... No pics yet.
